Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the knee, causing cartilage deterioration and discomfort. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management, as it can slow disease progression and improve the quality of life. This study proposes a deep learning approach to automatically sense and classify knee OA severity from X-ray images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the VGG16 model, establishing X-ray imaging as a biomedical sensing modality for automated disease grading. The models were trained on a dataset of knee X-ray images, and performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The proposed CNNs model achieved 99%... More >
